d star may be all ok on paths where it is a perfect signal, but nywhere
that there is QSB or QRM or QRN it is dead in the water and is useless.
And 90% of Amateur radio has those issues to deal with.

Actually, after more than 10 years on the market, D-STAR has only about
28,000 registered users worldwide. There are fewer than 2000 active users,
worldwide, daily. Many people are wondering why Icom keeps pouring money
into something which is clearly unsustainable in the long run.
There are very good reasons why no other amateur radio manufacturer will
touch it.

D STAR is growing across the US and the world

Amsat UK has info about a D STAR satellite

If you don't have a radio, you can use a DV Dongle on your computer
Give it a try
